FIBER OPTIC MICROCELL SYSTEM
1.0
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The EkoCel™ Fiber Optic Microcell System will support CDMA, PCS 1900, IS-136 or
AMPS system formats. EkoCel provides system coverage enhancement by remoting
the base station RF receive and transmit via a fiber optic connection to a location
requiring coverage. EkoCel is designed to meet or exceed applicable base station and
FCC emission standards. The EkoCel enhanced specifications provide minimal impact to
the overall system performance. EkoCel is comprised of two major components the
Microcell (Remote) Unit, which is remotely located in the area being provided service
and the Hub Unit, which is located at the base station. EkoCel will support multiple RF
channels on all PCS system formats and up to 24 channels for AMPS Cellular. Several
options are available including, Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM), diversity receive,
battery back up and duplex interface at the base station. EkoCel is supplied in all of the
PCS bands A to F and is also available in a dual band operation configuration. The dual
band unit will support both 1.9 GHz PCS and 800 MHz Cellular system over the same
fiber optic cable.
EkoCel is designed to meet the service provider requirements for Operations,
Administration, Maintenance and Performance (OAM&P). Alarm and control of the
system is accessible at the Microcell hub, remote unit or via a telephone (wire or
wireless) modem connection. Relay contacts also allow the user to remote the alarms
with the base station alarm system with user defined contacts. This allows the service
provider to have instant alarm notification at the Network Operation Control Center
(NOCC) without additional specialized hardware and software, commonly referred to as
an Element Management System. This provides simplicity and cost savings to the user.
Both the hub and the microcell remote are equipped with a display and function keypad
allowing the user easy access to alarms and system controls without additional
equipment. Three levels of security are provided to prevent unauthorized access to the
system.
EkoCel has a patent pending self-set up and system control feature that will allow the
system to automatically set up for the user defined system requirements. EkoCel
automatically adjusts gain and power based on the number of RF channels, system
format, system input power and optical loss. The system continues to monitor system
performance and alert the user of any system changes that requires additional real time
compensation.
EkoCel was developed specifically for use as a fiber optic microcell. It specifically
addresses the problem of system set up which has always been an issue with fiber optic
systems. The patented closed loop control system provides for long term changes in the
fiber optic system that occurs without continued maintenance monitoring. Since the
microcell is a remote antenna interface the design is specifically tailored for this
application. The up link amplifier has a low noise figure and a high 3rd order intercept
point. The downlink signals are coupled from the base station and do not require

channelization to prevent the amplification and re-radiation of unwanted signals. Alarm
reporting is accomplished at the hub not at the remote unit, which would require a
subscriber phone or telephone modem to be mounted in a harsh environment that they are
not typically designed for.

DESCRIPTION OF THE HUB UNIT MODULES
4.1
Fiber Optic Transceiver
The Fiber Optic Transceiver provides the RF signal transmission and reception
via the fiber optic cable between the hub and microcell units. Alarm monitor
outputs are provided to the control module to provide real time monitoring of the
operational performance. The down link transmitted optical signal is 1550 nm
wavelength and the up link received optical signal is 1310 nm wavelength. The
different optical wavelengths allow the addition of wave division multiplexing
(WDM) to any unit. This also reduces the requirement for maintenance spares in
mixed system.
4.2
RF Modem
The RF Modem module provides several functions in the RF signal path. The
modem provides the data receive and data transmit path between the hub and the
microcell units with communication links being RS485. The data is transmitted
on a RF carrier on the down link path in the 460 to 512 MHz band and received
on the up link path on the same selected RF channel. These signals are coupled
with the carrier signals with a directional coupler or triplexer. The RF modem
receiver reports the RSSI level to the controller to calculate the RF and up link
optical path loss. The controller also uses this reading to adjust the up link
attennuator to the proper setting for desired carrier signal level.
4.3
RF Detector
The down link RF carrier level is monitored by the controller as part of the
closed loop gain control and auto set up system. This level is reported as Base
Station input RF power level and laser input level. The operator can view the RF
detected level as desired for maintenance, installation and system set up.
4.4
Splitter/Combiner
The Splitter/Combiner allows the input and output RF signals to the base station
to be split to 4 paths to serve the optional system capability to support up to four
remote microcell units. The hub will support the expansion of four fiber optic
transceivers. A splitter output on the down link is used to couple signal to the RF
detector and one up link combiner output is used to couple signal to the RF
modem.
4.5
DC/DC Converter
The DC to DC converter provides the required conversion of DC levels required
internal from the 18-36 VDC supply voltage provided by the user from the base
station power source. Since the base station is automatically backed up by
battery power no additional back up power source is required by the hub unit.
4.6
Hub Interconnect Module
The Hub interconnect module provides the interface between the controller
module, the RF modem, fiber optic modules and the up link RF path signal
attenuators to the control circuits. It also provides user alarm interface and DC
distribution to all modules.

4.7
Controller Module
The Controller module provides the monitoring and control of the alarm and
control functions of the hub and microcell units. These alarms and controls can
be addressed and displayed by the function keys and display on the front of the
control unit. The controller also supports either a hyper terminal connection or a
optional modem. Alarms are instantly reported either via an optional modem
connection or by the base station alarm function using the relay alarm contacts on
the Hub interconnect module. Normally the two alarm relays are set up to alarm
Hub on relay 1 and Microcells on relay 2. The technician can access the control
and alarm system via the hyper terminal or optional telephone modem and
determine the actual alarm and system status.
OPTIONAL MODULES;
4.8
AC Power Supply
The optional AC power supply allows the hub unit to operate from the AC
primary power source. This option deletes the DC/DC converters.
4.9
Telco Modem
The telco modem provides the optional ability to remotely connect to the hub
control module and access system alarms and controls. This option uses the
Local Hyperterminal output and it is not available for use when this option is
selected.
4.10
Duplex, Base Station Interface
The duplex base station interface option provides the required duplexer and
cabling changes required for a single TX/RX input connection from the base
station.
4.11
Combiner Option
The combiner option provides multicarrier interface (see Figure 2.1).
4.12
Cross Band Operation Option
The cross band operation option provides the triplexing, cabling and hardware
changes for the combining of PCS 1.9 MHz signals with the Cellular 800 MHz
signals and the RF modem signal to a common input/output to/from the fiber
optic module. (Reference Figures 2.2 and 2.4).
4.13
Wave Division Multiplexer (WDM) Option
The WDM module allows the 1550 nm down link and the 1310 nm up link
optical signals to be duplexed onto a single fiber optic cable. The WDM mounts
externally at the Hub location, on a 19-inch rack mountable tray assembly. One
WDM module is required for each optical transceiver the Hub is equipped with.
Each Microcell will also require a WDM option which mounts internally in the
unit.
4.14
Optical Expansion Module
The fiber optical expansion module is required at the Hub for each Microcell unit
added to the EkoCel Fiber Optic Microcell System and may be expanded up to
a total of four per hub.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MICROCELL UNIT MODULES
5.1
Fiber Optic Transceiver
The Fiber Optic Transceiver provides the RF signal transmission and reception
via the fiber optic cable between the hub and microcell units. Alarm monitor
outputs are provided to the control module to provide real time monitoring of the
operational performance. The down link received optical signal is 1550 nm
wavelength and the up link transmitted optical signal is 1310 nm wavelength.
5.2
RF Modem
The RF Modem module provides several functions in the RF signal path. The
modem provides the data receive and data transmit path, via RS485, between the
hub and the microcell units. The data is received on a RF carrier on the down
link path on a channel between 460 to 512 MHz and transmitted on the up link
path on the same channel carrier. The down link modem carrier is decoupled
from the PCS carrier signals with a directional coupler or triplexer and a low pass
filter. The PCS up link carrier signals from the LNA/Driver module are coupled
to the fiber optic module input combined with the RF modem carrier with a
directional coupler or triplexer
5.3
LNA/Driver Module
The LNA/Driver module is divided into two sections. The LNA section which
has moderate gain and a very high third order intercept point of 32 dBm and a
low noise figure of <1.5 dB. The LNA is coupled outside of the module through
a SMA/F connector to a band selective band pass filter. Future options, which
may require higher selective filtering, utilizing active filtering can also be
accommodated. Optional filtering could allow channel selective or tighter band
selective filtering. The high performance LNA achieves a superior system
dynamic range. This prevents overdrive from undesired out of band signals
which are could be received at higher than desired signal levels.
The driver input is coupled into the module through a SMA/F connector. The
driver has limit peaking of high level injected signals which will prevent
overdriving and damaging the laser. Overall gain of the LNA and driver is 49
dB. This provides for maximum sensitivity of the system at the maximum
allowable optical loss of 10 dB. (10 dB of optical loss is equal to 20 dB RF loss.
This insures an overall system noise figure of <6 dB.
Versions of LNA/Driver Modules:

5.4
Duplexer
The duplexer couples the down link transmitted signals and the up link received
signals to a common antenna output which allow band selective or full band
system operation.
5.5
Lightning Arrestor
The lightning arrestor is to provide maximum protection from the environment.
Throughput energy ≤0.5 µJ (8/20µs at 3kA). DC blocked for maximum
equipment protection. N/female connection to the RF input/output.
5.6
Power Amplifier Module
The power amplifier module provides amplification for the down link signals
which are coupled through a directional coupler from the fiber optic receiver. It
also provides for gain level setting with a FET attenuator on the input which is
voltage controlled by the controller. The system gain can be adjusted in <1 dB
steps by the controller. The output power is monitored via a directional
coupler/detector circuit on the output of the PA. The detected power reading is
sent to the control module and is used for auto system set up and monitoring of
power by the user for maintenace and manual adjustments.
The power amplifier module also contains a circuit, which monitors the base
plate temperature. Should the base plate temperature rise above a safe level
(75° C.) an alarm will be generated which is monitored and reported by the
control module. The power amplifier will also shut down until the base plate
temperature is reduced to 60° C. at which time the PA will turn back on.
Although the alarm will clear it will retain the status that a PA temperature alarm
was activated for maintenance personnel to review the cause.
Versions of Power Amplifiers:
1.9M 3 watt Linear, 1.930 - 1.990 GHz
1.9R 12 watt Linear, 1.930 - 1.990 GHz
800M 8 watt Linear, 851 - 866 MHz or 869 - 894 MHz
5.7
Heater/Thermostat (Optional)
The heater provides a means to heat the enclosure to improve the performance at
lower temperatures and to extend the operating temperature range to –40° C.
5.8
Microcell (Remote) Control Interface Module
The Microcell (Remote) Control interface module provides circuits to set units’
address and calibration controls for RF power and down link RF and optical loss.
The controller also monitors the enclosure ambient temperature and provides
electronic compensation for low temperature operation if required. The DC to
DC converter provides +5 VDC and –5 VDC for operation of the laser modules.
DC distribution to the controller, optical receiver, optical transmitter, and RF
modem is provided via this interface module.

Power Supplies for 1.9 GHz and 800 MHz
The power supply for the 1.9M (2 watt) units provide 12VDC @ 12.5 amps to
the internal electronics from a primary input power of 100 VAC to 240 VAC at
50 to 60 Hz.
The power supply for the 800M (4-5 watt) units provide 28 VDC @ 10 amps
max and 12 VDC @ 4 amps. It also contains circuitry for DC transfer from main
power to standby DC power plus circuitry for distribution of DC and alarming
control interconnect to other modules. Transfer from main power to standby DC
is included.
The power supply for the 1.9R (8 watt) units provide 12 VDC @ 29 amps max.
It also contains circuitry for DC transfer from main power to standby DC power
plus circuitry for distribution of DC and alarming control interconnect to other
modules. Transfer from main power to standby DC is included.
5.10
Main/Battery Back Up (BBU) Assembly Option
The Main/BBU Assembly provides the transfer of primary power from the AC
power supply output of 12 VDC to the battery back up 13.6 VDC supply should
primary AC power fail. 1.9M (2 watt) units only.
5.11
Fan Control/Alarm Module
The fan control and alarm module provides the control and alarm interface to the
heat exchanger fans and the power amplifier thermal alarm. The module senses
the temperature of the heat sink and activates the heat exchanger fans when the
level rises to a preset level, typically 45 C. The heat exchanger has 3 muffin
fans that are individually controlled and alarmed by the module. Each fans
rotation is monitored, if a fan fails an alarm is sent to the controller for reporting
from the module. A single fan failure will not affect the operation and
performance of the unit. The failed fan will however be shutdown to reduce
current draw. The power amplifier thermal alarm is summed with the fan alarm
on the same analog input to the controller as different voltage levels.
5.12
DC Interface Module
The DC Interface module is used in the 1.9M (2 watt) Remote only. This module
provides DC supply filtering and interconnection to the power supply, BBU DC
input, and DC distribution connection to all other modules in the unit.

Software Controls
8.1.1. BASIC INTERFACE, Microcell (Remote)
The interface of the EkoCel is based on a 12 key system with a 2x20 LCD screen. While a user is
not engaged in any system functions the controller is in a RUN MODE. By that meaning the
controller does most of its work while running outside of the user menus.
The 12 key interface is designed around the functions the controller performs continually. The
key lay out and functions of the keys are listed below.

8.1.2. SYSTEM SETUP on MICROCELL UNIT CONTROLLER
Setting up the Microcell unit is done in one of two ways, Manual setup or Auto setup.
A. Manual Setup
During the initial startup of the Microcell the very first menu prompt to be encountered is
the setup menu. By pressing the UP or Down key you can either select the manual or the
auto setup. After choosing the correct setup method simply press the MENU key to
continue with setup. During Manual setup the following parameters are necessary to set:
Time; Date; System Format; RF Channels; Load. To access the menus containing the
settings other than Time/Date, press the Menu key. Next to scroll through the settings
press the Item key. Pressing the menu key will only take you back to the TIME/DATE
menu. To EXIT the System Setup menus, press Item key until the prompt “Current
Settings?”, select yes and press the Menu key. The controller will then wait for up to one
minute for a network update. If the hub is not yet installed the unit will proceed to
normal operating status. If a connection is made, and the required input power from the
base station is present, the unit will prompt the user to set up local gain. At that time the
user can enter the desired DL Pwr Out. NOTE: If the gain is not set then, or in the user
menus, it must be set at the Hub end.
B. Auto Setup
By simply choosing the Auto setup option the EkoCel Remote waits for the Hub to send
current network settings and proceeds to set up itself accordingly. This does not mean
that the user has no other responsibilities.
C. General Notes on the Controller
Remember to RESET ALL ALARMS before finishing all operations with the unit.
To EXIT From ANY point simply press the DEL key.
8.1.3. USER SETTINGS on MICROCELL UNIT CONTROLLER
A. Accessing User Menus
To access the user menus, first the ADD key must be pressed. Due to background
functions operating sometimes you may have to hold the ADD key for nearly a second.
The result will be the Password Entry Screen. In order to proceed to other menus a valid
password must be entered. The controllers are delivered with a set of factory passwords.
The factory passwords can be altered by using the supervisor password only. Once the
desired password is entered press the MENU key to proceed or the DEL key to return to
normal functioning. Units are set with initial default Technician 4 password of 10000
and the password comes up as 10000 on the display each time. The following are preset
passwords:
Supervisor - 21314, Tech 1 - 11311, Tech 2 - 11312, Tech 3 - 11313,
Tech 4 - 1000
B. Readings / Controls
From the Microcell (remote) location, gain is adjusted by pressing the up and down
arrows and using the field key to change the digit to be edited. DL# Pwr Cntrl: is the
label for the gain control of the PA. All changes made here are NOT in real time. Once
the desired value is displayed, that menu screen MUST be changed, (by pressing the
MENU key), in order for the change to take effect. The controller will then display a
“PLEASE WAIT” message while it sets the PA power to give the desired selected output
of dB power. Depending on the amount the change, the controller process time may take
up to 10 minutes and may give the appearance of locking up. To change the Hub Gain
control, press the Item Key to access that menu item. UL Gain dB: is the label for the
Hub Gain control. Once there, to change the gain, simply use the Field Key to select the
digit and the UP and DOWN keys to alter the values. Once the desired value is

displayed, that menu screen MUST be changed (by pressing the MENU key) in order for
the change to take effect remotely. The display will now read “UL Updating Please
Wait..” When the update is complete the display will automatically change to reflect the
Value at which it is set. Due to network latency, it may take up to 20 seconds to change
the display. Setting the peak power limit is done here. The default is 34 or 38(depending
on the technology type), which will prevent the power out of the Pa to exceed 34 dBm or
39dBm. To exit this set of menus, press the MENU KEY.

C. More Menus
By selecting ‘yes’ at the prompt, the user will have access to the following Menus. If not,
the menuing will loop back to the ‘Readings / Controls’ menu.
D. Maintenance Menu
This menu is used primarily for troubleshooting, maintenance and field calibration.
These readings are all network dependent, meaning that they only update when a
connection between the Hub and Microcell occur. If no connection is made then all
values found in this menu are invalid. The readings and their definitions are as follows:

desired value is displayed, that menu screen MUST be changed (by pressing the MENU key) in
order for the change to take affect remotely. Due to network latency, and control setting delay, it
may take up to 15 minutes to change the display. To exit this set of menus, press the MENU KEY.
If no remote detected, the up link gain control can still be adjusted by pressing the ITEM key to
advance from the no remotes on line screen to the appropriate up link gain control. Note: If there is
too little or no signal strength a menu screen will appear to alert the user of the fact and prohibit
him from changing the DL Gain on ANY remotes. You can also set the peak power limit here. The
default is 34, which will prevent the power out of the PA to exceed 34 dBm.

Up Link System Set Up for the System: The signal gain at the remote provides for 6 dB
of system gain with 0 dB RF link loss. CI Wireless suggests a up link gain level setting
of 4 – 6 dB to minimize system noise figure. Changing the gain setting causes the
controller to change the attenuation at the hub making UL system level adjustments (0-31
dB of adjustment)*. The RF modem detects the up link modem carrier RSSI level and
adjustments are made using this pilot carrier as a reference. (RSSI level is updated once
every 30 seconds).

loss up to 20 dB RF loss. Adding attenuation at the hub makes UL system level
adjustments. The RF modem detects the up link modem carrier RSSI level and
adjustments are made using this pilot carrier as a reference. (RSSI level is updated once
every 15-30 seconds).
